Students from a Point Cook school were cheered on by an Olympic champion last week. Stella Maris Catholic Primary School pupils took part in the CUA School Fun-Run, with Australian Olympic gold medal swimmer Mack Horton greeting them as they crossed the finishing line. The event was held to help Stella Maris pupils raise money to help develop the school’s ovals and outdoor area. “I’m excited to see the kids enjoying their sport and combining it with an opportunity to raise some much-needed funds for their school,” Horton said.
